TEOCO has announced that KPN, a provider of communications services in the Netherlands, is using TEOCO’s digital airspace management platform, AirborneRF, to support its Drone Connect service, which allows drone operators to connect to KPN’s mobile 5G network and select the safest flight route with the best mobile coverage.
In addition to providing connectivity for control, data exchange, and 3D mobile coverage maps, KPN is using AirborneRF to provide drone operators with population density data to minimise operational risks for drone flights.
Bringing together the mobile network operator’s radio network with uncrewed aerial system (UAS) airspace control, AirborneRF calculates the safe zones for cellular-controlled drones to operate. It delivers this information to Air Traffic Management (ATM) and UAs Traffic Management (UTM) systems in real-time.
